I solve whatever problem is standing between your SaaS company and its next stage of growth.

20+ years of building, scaling, and fixing technology companies — as CTO, CCO, COO, and founder. I don't pick a lane. I find the blocker, remove it, and move on to the next one.

The Reality

The Problem

Growth-stage SaaS companies hit walls that no single function can solve. The blocker might be technical, commercial, operational, or a go-to-market motion that isn't converting. Hiring a specialist takes months. Consultants deliver slides, not outcomes. Meanwhile, the window closes.

What I Do

I embed with your team, diagnose the real blocker, and personally do the work to remove it. I've been the CTO closing enterprise deals, the CCO rewiring product analytics, the operator redesigning the GTM engine. I sketch the plan on a whiteboard, then open the laptop and make it real.

Domains I Operate In
Marketing & GTM Product Strategy Sales & Revenue Operations & Scale Growth Strategy Team & Culture Leadership

The ivory-tower executive who sets the strategy and never touches the work? That's a 2015 playbook. I sketch the plan and then make it real.

Conviction & Clock Speed

You don't need a perfect org chart. You need someone who holds the vision in one hand and a keyboard in the other. I help you find product-market signal fast.

Where Companies Quietly Break

The scrappy habits that got you here start working against you. My job is knowing which ones to keep and which to kill — before the cracks become crises.

Building Leverage

The game becomes about building leaders, not dependencies. I measure my impact by what the people I've worked with go on to do after they leave my team.
